Ex-Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund says he was denied preemptive deployment of the National Guard before and during the Jan. 6 riot

Former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund says he was left in the dark about a cascade of intelligence gathered by the FBI and Department of Homeland Security that warned about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

The former Capitol Police chief said he was denied preemptive deployment of the National Guard twice in the days leading up to the riot.

Military officials were so concerned about the intelligence that warned of an explosive riot that the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, Mark Milley , considered shutting down the city.

Former Capitol police chief says he made 32 calls for help from Capitol command center.

New Jersey State Police beat the National Guard to the Capitol , Sund says.

The New York Times confirmed the presence of at least one federal informant at the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Sund was kept in the dark on undercover operations with “no idea” how many were in the crowd.
